The importance of every child and baby to get checked by a chiropractor. That chiropractors can treat so much more than just spinal/joint issues. The role and importance of the dural- meningeal system and how it relates to the vitality and health of a patient.

I feel that I can make so much more of a positive change in babies, children and parents’ lives. One really positive story I can share was that I treated a 3-month-old Down syndrome baby whose mom was at the absolute brink of despair as she was pumping full time day and night to provide breastmilk for her baby. She was so close to giving up on the night pumping and supplementing with formula because she was so exhausted from constantly waking up at night. They struggled with breastfeeding from day 1: her baby had low motor tone, poor core strength, breastfeeding was uncoordinated and she tired easily at the breast and most times would just end up rejecting her breast or falling asleep after a few minutes. She was only able to breastfeed with a nipple shield. Often breastfeeding would last 1-2 minutes max, the longest she breastfed for was 5 minutes and that was only very occasionally at night if she caught her baby at the “right” time and it was only on the one breast – i.e..” dream feeding”, but only when she was sleepy enough but not too sleepy, not too hungry otherwise she was just fussy at the breast – there was a very fine line and she only managed to get it right a couple of times). Mom had exclusively breastfed her 2 previous children until age 2, naturally birthed all her babies and was headset on breastfeeding her Down Syndrome baby, at least for the first year (she came into my office, just hoping to get to 6 months but not thinking she would even make that). She sat in my office chair and cried because she was so tired of pumping around the clock and she was about to give up on their exclusive pumping feeds at night, possibly during the day too as it was all just getting too much for her, especially with other children to look after. After 1 chiropractic treatment, her 3-month-old baby was able to latch and effectively breastfeed from both breasts for 10-15minutes on each side. She went from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding off the breast within 1 week of her first chiropractic treatment and it saved her mom’s sanity! She is now able to breastfeed at night (without a shield) and can go out in public without having to pump and prep a bottle beforehand. She is forever grateful for Chiropractic. This was after seeing Lactation Consultants, craniosacral therapists and physiotherapists. 1 Chiropractic treatment was all it took for them to go from exclusive pumping to exclusive breastfeeding after 3 months of struggling. Powerful stuff!

I used the ear infection protocol on an active ear infection of a 5-year-old little boy who came in crying with acute ear pain and a fever. 2 hours after his chiro treatment, his fever broke and his ear pain went away – in his mom’s words “he went back to his normal self like nothing had happened”.

Yes, of course I would recommend it to others! It is probably the most in-depth and comprehensive chiropractic course I’ve taken – worth every cent! And it’s very interesting to be able to treat the cranial aspect of things.

“This course deepened my knowledge of dural meningeal evaluation and intra-oral corrections.

The program shared a comprehensive spinal and cranial evaluation with a systematic approach to corrections. It does it gradually, and that helps you process all the new in-depth information so you can use it instantly.

This program has added to my toolbox an array of adjusting techniques for each meningeal, tonal, and structural adjustment procedure. This growth has provided the certainty that I will be able to serve my community.

The approach and techniques are beyond what other doctors offer in my community. This last year, I have seen faster results with intense cases from vacuum extractions, plagiocephalies, and feeding difficulties due to dural restrictions.

I recommend this program to other Chiropractors seeking to take their knowledge to the next level.

It has been a mind-blowing program where my brain has overflowed with knowledge. I am excited and honored to use this knowledge to help the next generations lay a strong foundation for wellness.

I want to thank Dr. Martin and Dr. Watson for pouring their knowledge and passion. ‘We never know how far-reaching something we may think, say, or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.’ – B. J. Palmer”

“I retook the SOT Pediatric Program so I could continue to sharpen my cranial and spinal adjusting skill, gain greater confidence, and deepen my understanding and knowledge of pediatric spinal and cranial assessment.

Three takeaways I received from this course are: 1.Having a detailed history and well-organized examination will lead to better outcomes for the patient. 2. Practice on live models as much as you can to give yourself the hands-on experience you need to become more experienced. 3. Learn from your peers. Their challenges that they present on the Facebook group can give you valuable insight on how to deal with similar challenges that may present to your office in the near future.

I feel like I’ve gained more confidence in myself and in my ability to deliver quality care to my pediatric patient.

I found that if I first cleared the occiput and sphenobasilar junction followed by the temporal and frontal bone in many of my infant patients who presented to my office with chronic issues had amazing results almost immediately. Which in turn, leads to happier mothers and more family involvement in chiropractic care.

I strongly believe this course is a MUST for all chiropractors who want to better serve their pediatric community. It will enhance your professional capability to adjust, assess, and evaluate the pediatric population across various developmental stages.

Having the opportunity to learn from Dr. Rosen and Dr. Watson for the second time was as always, a very rewarding experience. This course continues to provide me with the training I need to support my passion in caring for the pediatric community. I always end up feeling eager and motivated to serve at a greater capacity after completing the course.

I really enjoyed taking this course and I look forward to continuing learning with you both in the many other programs you offer!”

1. This is a very detailed course of study that digs very deep into anatomy and cranial joint function. 2. Do your best to stay on top of the weekly material…it is not easy to play catch-up! 3. If you are a better in-person learner, consider taking the fully in-person or partial in-person course.

My knowledge of the cranial mechanism has increased substantially! I also realized that I am a much better in-person learner!

I have an infant in my practice that has a significant torticollis, feeding/latch difficulties and plagiocephaly. Adding in the intraoral work really helped improve her function, comfort level and we are starting to see more changes in her head shape! I have been doing external cranial work for all 17 years of my practice, but the intraoral work has been a game changer!

I would definitely recommend this course to others, but I would urge them to consider their learning style before choosing a course path (in-person, hybrid or completely online.)

Thank you for increasing my knowledge and confidence in caring for my patients!

“I took this course originally to gain more knowledge about cranial work for the pediatric population so that I could help more of these kids. This time I was taking it as a review because it had been a while since I had taken it and I think I always learn something new each time!

You will learn things you can implement immediately in practice. You will learn A LOT! Even if you just implement a couple of things, you will feel more confident in practice.

Personally, I have been able to help my own daughter after taking this course and professionally I have seen more peds and feel more confident and comfortable with this population than before.

I have used it in helping a baby with an internally rotated frontal bone and helping a baby with torticollis.

I would definitely recommend this course to others because there is so much content to help you in practice. Other chiropractors would benefit from studying with you because they would feel so much more comfortable and confident in practice when working with pediatrics because of all the knowledge they will gain from taking this course.

The videos are great tools to be able to see up close and pause and replay to make sure you are performing the techniques correctly!”
